In certain circumstances, PIPEDA provides that we may disclose your personal information without your consent. Such circumstances include: where required by law or by order of a court or tribunal; where the information is used for the purpose of collecting a debt owed to us; where the personal information is requested by a government institution to enforce any law; and in the case of an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual.
